The Gunners' European adventure looks all but over this season after they slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Bayern at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The midweek loss came just three days after their FA Cup fifth round exit to Blackburn, leaving Wenger's men with nothing but a Premier League top-four finish to compete for.
Wenger, however, believes Arsenal can pull off a miracle at the Allianz Arena, as well as get the better of top-flight high-flyers Everton and Tottenham, in the coming weeks.
"We will have two battles, but maybe the easier battle will be to be back in the Champions League," the Frenchman said.
"However, we have to give everything to try and change things in the second leg.
"But let's not hide the truth: it will be extremely difficult against a team of that quality.
"We have to give our best and hope we have built our confidence up a bit more, because that belief will be needed."
Wenger added: "The quality of my players is there, but they are not getting reward for their efforts.
"I still have confidence in my players and in my team but on this evidence there is clearly work to be done.
"However, you have to give them (Bayern) credit for their class. In patches in the first half, it was a difference of quality in their display to ours."
